Jongno

Palace · Hanbok

The main Jongno palace. Next is Bukchon or Gwanghwamun — not Gangnam, and not a deep Changdeokgung the same day.

Hanok · Slope

A slope where people still live. Photograph from the lane mouth, not into windows. Next is Samcheong or Insadong — do not replay Gyeongbokgung.

Coffee · Shops

Coffee and small shops below Bukchon. Treat it as supply, not a second shopping corridor.

Souvenirs · Teahouse

A walking street of souvenirs and tea houses. Buy two things, then stop. Next is Ikseon — not Myeongdong.

Hanok · Dinner

Narrow lanes of converted hanok. Dinner can stay here — do not ride on to Hongdae.

Square · Palace

The flat ground in front of the palace gate. Use it as the entrance or exit — do not spend the afternoon here.

Palace · Rear garden

The other palace; the rear garden is extra. Split it from Gyeongbokgung. Do not do both in depth the same morning.

Temple · City

A city temple beside Insadong. A short stop on the Bukchon day — not a second palace.

Market · Lunch

Lunch market in Seochon. The brass-coin trays are the local method. Eat, then return toward the palace — not another round in Myeongdong.

Residential slope · Hanok

The lived-in slope west of Gyeongbokgung. Next is Tongin Market or Gyeonghuigung — do not rebound through Bukchon.

Palace · Stone wall

The quieter palace west of Gwanghwamun. Make it the half-day palace — not a deep Gyeongbokgung the same day.

Palace · Rear garden

The palace beside Daehak-ro. Go deep here or at Changdeokgung — not both rear gardens in one morning.

Small palace · Lane

A small palace between Insadong and Ikseon. Close in the lanes — do not reopen Gyeongbokgung.

Shrine · Woods

The royal shrine north of the stream. A ritual half-day of its own — not Hongdae, and not stacked on a deep Gyeongbokgung.

City history · Indoor

The city-history museum west of Gwanghwamun. A rain substitute for the slope — not a second palace.

Folk · Indoor

The folk museum inside the Gyeongbokgung grounds. One hall if you are already in — not a reason to add Changdeokgung.

Court · Indoor

The palace museum southwest of Gyeongbokgung. Enter after the palace — not two museums plus two palaces.

Residence · Garden

The former presidential grounds north of Gyeongbokgung. The north end of a palace day — not a mountain, and not the Jamsil tower.

Altar · Trees

The altar west of Gyeongbokgung. A short stop, then Gyeonghuigung or Seochon — not a trailhead.

Theatre · Street

The theatre street at Hyehwa. One show at dusk, or only Marronnier — not Gyeongbokgung.

Park · Street

The small park in the middle of Daehak-ro. A pause on the theatre street, not another itinerary.

History · Brick

The history hall by Independence Gate. Its own half-day — not a deep palace, and not a hike.

Gate · Plaza

Independence Gate at Seodaemun. The door in or out of the history hall — not a stamp on the way to Gangnam.

Shrine · Foot

The shaman shrine at the foot inside the Independence Gate side. A short stop at the hall. Bukhansan and a long wall walk are not on this graph.

Dabang · Daehak-ro

A Daehak-ro dabang since 1956. Sit this one only, then back to Marronnier — not Hongdae or Dongdaemun.

One meal · Bukchon

The meal on the Gyeongbokgung and Bukchon half-day, on Samcheong-ro. Then back to the palace exit. Do not walk Changdeokgung in depth the same day, and do not continue to Ikseon for a second sitting.
